Anyone Else's Child React To Gerber Wagon Wheels?

I have read that Gerber Apple Wagon Wheels are gluten free, but my son seems to break out in eczema type rashes when he eats them. I went awhile without them and thought maybe his previous reactions were due to something else, but then he had one tonight and his skin broke out. I am still questioning corn so maybe that is the problem since there is corn in it. I just wonder if there is any CC issues with the wagon wheels. As for corn, sometimes he seems to react and sometimes not so I cannot figure it out.

My son loves the Gerber Wagon Wheels. We have not seen any reaction to them. (But we all know if he manages to snag a single Cheerio at day care!) So, I hope that helps you figure things out. If your son cannot have the wagon wheels, Heinze makes a gluten free rusk (brittish word for teething biscuit) that my son also loves. We quit getting them a little bit ago as he has been able to add so many other things into his diet (due to age, still can't have gluten). Point is, I do not know what grains are in it. I remember it being Tapioca, but I don't know about corn. If you are interested in them, you will have to either find someone who travels to England, or a store that can get foods imported from England, because Heinz will not ship them to you.

Good luck.

That is the only treat that my son can eat.. my cousin actually helped to make the taste of those things... I was told that they are gluten free... maybe there is somethign else in them that is causing a reaction. But you know my son often breaks out like that... I will ask her what is hiding in them ... he also likes the CARROT ones. I am thinking it may be the corn... now that you say that.... I saw a rash just like what your saying ..... exactly... was it on his trunk.. and kinda bumpy but hard... not blistery ... but rough to the touch... and it spread but stayed under the breast and ribs... but redish but sometimes it was no color ..

It's like a full-body type rash. More like rash patches all over. It is reddish in some areas and whiteish in others. They are raised rashes that looked inflamed at first and then as they dry out turn more skin tone. It is like he has an outbreak from something and then it starts to clear pretty quickly but his skin will remain dry and bumpy until the next time....I am thinking it may be the corn, but sometimes I swear he eats corn products and doesn't react much and then boom he will react crazy to something with corn. He also gets the same rash if he eats peas or green beans. Some family members think I am crazy but he definitely reacts to these foods.

My son has no problems with the wagon wheels. He loves them and eats them as snacks. He is pretty sensitive to gluten, even just licking a cookie/cracker containing gluten will make him sick.

My DS also reacted to the Apple Wagon Wheels. I had to only give him food that actually said Gluten free before I could get rid of most of his symptoms. I just when gluten-free myself because I breast feed and I'm hoping that gets rid of the rest of his excema. I have no idea if I have celiac disease but I seem to remember feeling better when on a low carb diet. Has anyone went gluten-free while nursing, and if so, has it helped?

I'm new here but thought I would chime in. I'm still bf'ing my 19mo and it makes a HUGE difference whether or not I eat gluten. I have had to cut it all out. Its funny because before he ate gluten first hand my BM didn't bother him. Now though that he's had a reaction if I eat say pizza or something high in gluten, he is miserable for a few days. SUCKS!

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
